Hubby Run

This evening was an easy 2 miler with Chris! He said he was skipping class tonight, so I gave him an ultimatum...he either goes to class like a good student or he goes on a run with me. He chose the run. Lucky for him it was an easy one!

I left my iPod at home tonight because Chris somehow ruined his headphones and couldn't use his iPod. Apparently he had his headphones in his school bag, in the SAME POCKET as a pair of wire cutters (genius!). Why he did this and how the headphones actually got snipped are questions I cannot answer. Needless to say, the wire cutters won. So off we ran, without our music. I wasn't sure how well I was going to do...or even if I'd be able to run at all without music. I thought perhaps my feet have become so accustomed to following the beat that in its absence I would stumble and trip over myself ultimately leading to a few twisted ankles and a smashed in face. Alas, the music was not missed. My feet led on, and Chris and I were able to carry on a conversation! Granted, it was rather labored and choppy, but it was such a good distraction that I might make him go with me more often! We talked about our upcoming snowshoeing trip this weekend, which I am very excited about! There hasn't been enough snow this year...

I went to REI on my lunch break to get some Gu in preparation for my run tomorrow. 8 miles! It will be the first time I've fueled up mid-run, and for some reason I'm kind of nervous about it! What if this Gu stuff is completely disgusting? What if I lose the packet? What if it gives me so much energy that I can't stop running? Haha, ok, maybe not. I am, however, very excited for the sense of achievement. Hope it goes well!
